If that total this year reaches up to 6 games, then he'll have tied Bob Sanders in how many games they missed their first four years. He's averaging like 365 yards a year right now. No matter how talented someone is, if they can't stay on the field, they aren't worth it.
So how well he performs/how healthy he stays (which doesn't look good so far) really does matter. Can't help the club in the tub, and money spent on a player who can't stay on the field is money that isn't helping your team.
Completely agree with you on Eifert. The guy is extremely talented, but also cannot say on the field. People like to compare him to Gronk, but the most yards Eifert has ever put up is only slightly more than the least Gronk has (615 to 550 in Gronk's rookie year). Don't get me wrong, I like the guy, but I do think he contract presents a very interesting quandary.
